NYPD officer charged with threatening man with gun

Newsday reports:

A New York City police officer was arrested on a menacing charge Friday, several hours after he barreled through a security checkpoint at Hofstra University while off duty and pointed his service pistol at a man who had accompanied his former girlfriend to a Manhattan nightclub, Nassau police said.

No word yet from Mayor Bloomberg on these sorts of cops having a monopoly on guns in New York City.
